I think many people have the wrong idea about Christians. We're not Jesus. Christians aren't Jesus. We're not pure, we have so many flaws that it's almost so hard to cover up, and we are definitely not perfect. In fact, we're FAR from perfect or being anything like Jesus. Whoever said "Christians are supposed to be peaceful" or "Christians don't lie" or anything along the lines of that, I'm sorry to say that your definition of "Christian" is wrong. Being a Christian doesn't mean we've become a saint or whatever whatever, it just means that we're dedicating our life to Jesus. True, we have to obey the 10 commandments, but we're humans too. We also make mistakes just like everyone else. Saying that we don't lie is a lie right there. It's in all our bloods to lie; it's one of those natural reactions.Why? It is because, my friends, we're all born a sinner. This goes back all the way to Adam and Eve, but we won't go there today.
I just wanted to note to people that Christians =/= perfect.
When I was younger I had a friend that would always tell me "You're a Christian! You're not supposed to lie!" At that time I didn't know what to say, well... i was young... I didn't know anything. But I know I didn't like it when she said that, it made me upset and furious that she would say that. "I'm a Christian yeah, but I'm still like you people... right? Being a Christian doesn't mean I don't lie... right?" I always asked myself these questions. But now that I know, it doesn't mean I'll go off lying every 5 seconds. No, psh. I'm not going to purposely lie, I'm just saying that Christians are just as flawed as everyone else.
You got that right, girl. I hate it when people say, "But you're a Christian, you're suppose to be blah blah blah" True. We shouldn't lie and do other bad stuff, but that doesn't give non-Christians the privilege to do it either, and we're not that different. I'm with you Jackie! ;)
